Detailed Description

Provides a POSIX like user environment for tasks.

Function Documentation

rtems_current_user_env_get()

rtems_user_env_t * rtems_current_user_env_get

(

void

)

Fetch the pointer to the current user environment.

If the task has a private user environment the pointer to it will be returned. Otherwise the pointer to rtems_global_user_env will be returned.

rtems_current_user_env_getgroups()

void rtems_current_user_env_getgroups

(

void

)

Gets the supplementary group IDs using the current user ID and updates the table of supplementary group IDs in the current user environment.

In case of an error, the count of supplementary group IDs is set to zero.

rtems_libio_set_private_env()

rtems_status_code rtems_libio_set_private_env

(

void

)

Creates a private environment.

If the task has already a private environment nothing will be changed. This function must be called from normal thread context and may block on a mutex. Thread dispatching is disabled to protect some critical sections.

The private environment internally uses a POSIX key. The key is added to the configuration implicitly. But for each thread that uses a private environment a key value pair has to be configured by the application. If only the global environment is used there is no need to configure a key value pair.

Return values

RTEMS_SUCCESSFUL	Successful operation.
RTEMS_NO_MEMORY	Not enough memory.
RTEMS_UNSATISFIED	Cloning of the current environment failed.
RTEMS_TOO_MANY	Cannot register the private environment.

rtems_libio_use_global_env()

void rtems_libio_use_global_env

(

void

)

Use the global environment.

A private environment will be released. This function may be called from every thread context. Thread dispatching is disabled to protect the critical sections.
